VISTA BETA 2- ShowWindow

[Otto]

SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3

ShowWindow(hWnd,3)

System hangs.


SW_RESTORE = 9
Works.

Otto,

This code is properly working on Vista Beta 2 (5384):

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd
   
   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "Test for Otto"
   
   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd MAXIMIZED
   
return nil 


MAXIMIZED uses ShowWindow(). Please provide a self contained sample to reproduce the error that you mention, thanks.

Here is my code.
Regards
Otto


func ziRechnung
LOCAL cHSTIni := ".\INI\WINHOTEL.INI"
LOCAL WIN_HOT_VER := ""
LOCAL nPos := ""
LOCAL hWnd := GetWindow( GetActiveWindow(), GHW_HWNDFIRST )
LOCAL cTask :=""
LOCAL ktowahlaufruf := 0
local cTest :=""
*--------------------------------------------


WIN_HOT_VER := GetPvProfString( "SETUPDATEN","VerzeichnisWinHotel" , "C:\WINHOT96" ,cHSTIni )
nPos := len(WIN_HOT_VER+"WHRG.EXE")


// cTest := UPPER(left(cTask,nPos))
// msginfo( cTest )



while hWnd != 0
cTask = GetModuleFileName( GetWindowWord( hWnd, GWW_HINSTANCE ) )
// msginfo( cTask )

if UPPER(left(cTask,nPos)) = UPPER(WIN_HOT_VER + "WHRG.EXE")
//msginfo("Vor show 9" + UPPER(left(cTask,nPos)))
ShowWindow(hWnd,9)
setFocus(hWnd)
SETFOREGRO(hWnd)
RETURN NIL
endif
hWnd = GetWindow( hWnd, GHW_HWNDNEXT )
end
winexec("WHRG.exe")
RETURN NIL

Otto,

Please provide a reduced and self contained sample. A PRG that can be copied, compiled and executed as it is with no changes. Its the only way to provide efficient tech support. Thanks.

If the programm is allready runnig to bring it in the foreground.

[Antonio Linares]

Otto,

Please review this thread:

[Otto]

BringWindowToTop(hWnd)

does not resolve the problem.

Otto,

>If the programm is allready running to bring it in the foreground.

Try this:

DLL32 FUNCTION SETFOREGROUNDWINDOW( hWnd AS LONG ) AS BOOL;
PASCAL FROM "SetForegroundWindow" LIB "user32.dll"

[Otto]

Thank you James. I have this code in my testprg.

But does not work.

Otto,

Try with StopUntil( <bCondition> ).

I have revisited my Windows 2000 API SuperBible,
and it's appear than "ShowWindow does not make sure the window is in the foreground. Use SetWindowPos or SetActiveWindow function to bring a window to the foreground."

Also, there is LockSetForegroundWindow function who
"...disable or enables the calls to the SetForegroundWindow
function for the calling process.

By default, the system automatically enables calls to SetForegroundWindow if the user press the Alt key or takes some
action that causes the system itself to change the foreground window.
This function allows applications to prevent other applications from
making a foreground change that can interrupt its interaction with the user."

Hope this help
